( another f*cking GET " study" .......... grrr !!!)

Actually, something has been in the works on this for some time now, but it requires serious strategizing.

This represents months of work on the part of a large group of hardworking individuals, [having edited this to be vaguer, sorry... strategy again!]

The effort is very close to completion! Because so many are working together, waiting for input / feedback from important parties sometimes takes precedence over our sense of urgency. Jumping the gun can result in petitions that are just 'feel good' -- not addressed to the right person or with the right input (i.e. crafting an ask that can actually be accomplished by the party you address) that have little impact.

This is absolutely something that can kindle righteous anger and it does in me, too. But Credible Hulk wants credibility. ;)

And here we go, ladies and gents. Fasten your seatbelts.

And do read FAQ on main site (www.stopGET.org) before describing how it would have been done differently/better if only YOU had been there to advise, lol.

I love my community, and I also know my community! :D Done w/advice from many realms. Worked on by a small, dedicated, very ill team with advice from patients and non-patients alike, with backgrounds in gov't, law, statistics, PACE in specific, and research in general. Please be respectful of the effort that went into this, which was enormous.

POST IT EVERYWHERE. Really we gain the most exposure when everyone who decides to sign tweets or Facebooks their signature. If social media exhausts you, please consider emailing the link to others.

Thank you so much for your support -- it means the world.
